#APOC

"The time of their lies is over. We out here in the streets, fighting back as we face oppression and lost life. There’s more of us anarchist people of color out here every time. We been out here, doing it the way we do out in Oakland, and the way they do now in Ferguson and Baltimore. We black and brown rebels have been here the whole time, donning the black mask. We know that the proven way to defend ourselves when they take one of our lives is to lash back in collective fury, and show that the horror they inflict on us won’t be tolerated. We’ve been the one’s fighting like hell, turning it up, along with many others. We ain’t waiting and we ain’t playing, this is a war against our oppressors.

So here’s a short read that some POC anarchists wrote about what we think. Check it, and next time shit pops off, maybe we’ll see you out in the streets."

:black_sparkling_heart: #Introduction #Intro

TL:DR: I'm mostly posting this intro to connect with other Black and BIPOC Anarchists or Anti-authoritarians. Hit me up! :Fire_Panafrican:

Hey, everyone

My partner and I are currently working on a docuseries, @Elememts_of_MA, about the origins, structures, healing ways, and logistics of mutual aid-based organizing. The project isn't exclusively profiling anarchist groups, but it is deeply anti-authoritarian - we're especially staying away from charismatic leaders and celeb "activist" types.

The whole thing is independent - no producers; everything is out of pocket. We've been living out of a van we converted so we could make this happen; which has been amazing. We've been on the road since May Day this year, and have already filmed some solid interviews as far north as Montreal and as far south as Puerto Rico.

However, I'm personally struggling to find Black organizations or collectives that aren't MLM, AADOS, authoritarian, Black Capitalist, nonprofit style groups. Reading and theory groups or media collectives are rad, but I'm really looking for groups that're doing interesting work on the ground (*not food distro*) from an anti-state-nationalist analysis.

Lorenzo and JoNina Irvin will appear in the film, among other radical Black people like Jessica Gordon Nembhard, The Northeast Action Collective in Houston, and Arm the Girls in Oakland. So, I'm not at a complete loss.

But, please send me all the rad groups of Black people you know that are creating long-term, democratic, mutual aid projects in their communities. They do not need to identify as anarchist, but they *cannot* be down with the nation state and have to be doing more than food distro.

Thanks a ton, y'all.

Beyond all that, I'm also really interested in connecting with people to write Star Wars analysis and fan-fiction. I think the galaxy far, far away is an interesting canvas to explore the tensions of autonomous world building vs authoritarian revolutionary movements. If I lived in that universe, I'd no doubt be getting into arguments with the Rebel Alliance.

Thanks for reading this long-winded post.

#apoc is not a joke ... I repeat not a jocular excercize in futility.
